Section 2060.210  Unlicensed Practice

a)         Whenever DHS/SUPR determines that an unlicensed organization is engaging in or referring to themselves as an organization that delivers licensable services, as specified in Section 2060.205, it shall issue a letter ordering that organization to cease and desist from engaging in the activity.  The order to cease and desist shall specify the service or services that require licensure and shall include citation of relevant sections of the Act and this Part.

b)         The order to cease and desist shall be accompanied by notice that instructs the organization to submit written documentation to DHS/SUPR within 10 calendar days after receipt of the notice to support a claim that licensure is not required or that the organization is licensed or otherwise properly authorized to conduct the service.

c)         After the expiration of the 10-day period, if DHS/SUPR determines that the unlicensed organization is continuing to provide services that require licensure, the matter shall be referred to the appropriate State's Attorney or to the Office of the Attorney General for potential legal action against the unlicensed organization.
